Infact im ready to be converted, baptized and become religious but unfortunately theres no empirical or logical evidence to back up the claims in the bible and that theres a god with a white beard, white robe who created the universe 6000 years ago, then the earth in 7 days, then a man and a woman in an instant and now sits in the clouds and tailors to every fallen person by either sending them to heaven or hell.
Fortunately, there's plenty of empirical and logical evidence against such claims, which begs the question: why do you apparently profess to be "open" to the possibility of such "gods"? Are you equally open to the possibilities that the Earth is flat; two plus two equals five; and that my left sock controls all phenomena in the universe by means of its omnipotent, post-workout malodor?

Sounds pretty plausible to me. Has your left sock issued any commandments that I can obey?

Why the is there ANOTHER atheist thread anyways. Nobody cares about anyone's religious affiliations or beliefs.

No. Atheism is simply a tag expressing what you aren't; An atheist is simply not a theist.
Atheist isn't an expression of something you are, but something you are not.

Sure, the god of abraham among others. Any diety, be it Odin, Zeus or Elvis.

I wonder what religion DJ Ryan consider himself belonging to.
EDIT: Here's a video that I find kinda relevant (but not entirely).

I think society would be better off if you could please re-upload those mixes :D

In that case yes I do believe in god. My god is the physical laws that govern the universe. Gravity, electromagnetism, strong & weak forces. I dont worship or pray to it. It could care less what a guy does with his dick or what a girl does for money. So with that being said now does that make me a theist?

If you're going to argue what you are or aren't, you really ought to get a clue what any of the words you use mean. English is your native language for crying out loud.
"A deity is a recognized preternatural or supernatural immortal being, who may be thought of as holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, and respected by believers."
Does anything you described as your "god" fit that description? No. Either you're a halfwit, or just pulling my chain, damn.

How the can not believing in a deity be "just as bad as any other religion"?
Person 1 believes he can fly. Person 2 does not.
